frankie Posted June 18, 2004 Report Share Posted June 18, 2004 I want to figure out what bridge I'm gonna use on my maple/black limba neck thru, so i can figure if i need a neck angle and all that good stuff. Can anybody recommend me a good bridge......Prefereably a hard tail, but i'm open to TOM suggestions too. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePlague Posted June 19, 2004 Report Share Posted June 19, 2004 hipshot makes some nice hardtails. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frankie Posted June 19, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2004 they only offer 2 for a six string right?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westhemann Posted June 19, 2004 Report Share Posted June 19, 2004 http://www.stewmac.com/shop/Bridges,_tailp...er_Bridges.html i like this one...even the string spacing is adjustable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackHawk2025 Posted June 19, 2004 Report Share Posted June 19, 2004 i prefer a TOM...... they're easy to install and depending on wither you use string-thru, trapeze, or a stop tailpiece they usually stay in tune. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westhemann Posted June 19, 2004 Report Share Posted June 19, 2004 the one i posted installs on top of an unrouted guitar body with three screws i like the roller balls too...keeps the strings from breaking like what happens with a t.o.m. no neck angle required...and the intonation range is twice that of a t.o.m.

frankie Posted June 19, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2004 have you ever tried that one (stew mac). It looks nice.....Yeah i would take a TOM on last resort, but i already got it on my les paul and i'm gonna try something new..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GregP Posted June 19, 2004 Report Share Posted June 19, 2004 Sweet functionality. Ugly like a baboon's ass, though. Alright, that's an exaggeration. It's actually quite cool looking in an industrial way. Looks good for metal. Dunno if I like it as much as the hipshot hardtail for elegance, though.

frankie Posted June 19, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2004 wow, that sounds pretty terrific........almost too good to be true, I think that's the one i would go with. Have you seen any guitars with the chrome model on????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john Posted June 19, 2004 Report Share Posted June 19, 2004 Ugly like a baboon's ass methinks somebody has been watching dirty sanchez ..... i highly recomend the hipshot hardtail bridge, personally i would choose it over the above mentioned bridge because it uses string thru body mounting. ps. wes, that guitar is sweet, nice work! john.

frankie Posted June 19, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2004 yeah i know string thru is supposed to help with sustain and all, but i can't stand them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
